INSTRUCTIONS

This is a

Listed appliance. The following important safeguards are recommended by most portable appliance

manufacturers.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

To reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage when using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions

should always be followed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions.

2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handle for lifting and pouring.

3. To protect against ﬁre, electric shock, and personal injury, do not immerse cord, plug, or this kettle in water or

other liquid.

4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before cleaning the kettle. Empty water

between uses.

6. Do not operate this kettle with a damaged cord or plug, or in the event the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped

or damaged in any manner. Return the tea kettle to the Presto Factory Service Department or to the nearest

Presto Authorized Service Station for examination, repair, or adjustment.

7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may result in ﬁre, electrical

shock, or personal injury.

8. Do not use outdoors.

9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.

11. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot water.

12. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

13. To disconnect, unplug cord from wall outlet.

14. Do not pour boiling water before disconnecting the cord from the wall outlet.

15. This product is intended for heating water only.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This product is for household use only.

A short supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over

a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if care is exercised in its use. If an extension cord is used, the

marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the tea kettle. The extension cord,

if used, should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on

by children or tripped over accidently.

Whistle Performance: If you wish to hear the whistle, boil 2 to 4 cups of water each time you use the tea kettle. As

the volume of the water in the tea kettle increases, the sound level of the whistle intensiﬁes, When using less than

2 cups of water in the tea kettle, the whistle will function, however, it will be very faint sounding. Once the water

level drops to the 1 cup level, the sound of the whistle will disappear completely.

How To Use

Always be sure the tea kettle is unplugged from the wall outlet before ﬁlling

with water.

1. Lift the spout lid and tilt back toward the handle. Fill with 2 to 4 cups of

water; do not ﬁll above the full mark (Fig. A). Overﬁlling may result in hot

water boiling out the spout. Plug cord into 120 volt AC wall outlet.

2. Use the tea kettle on a dry, level, heat resistant surface, away from countertop

edge.

NOTE: Before using the heated water for consumption for the ﬁrst time, boil

one kettle full of water and discard. It may contain some manufacturing oil or

residue. Do not use any soap or cleaning compounds in the water.

3. The water will begin to boil in a few minutes and will continue to boil until the cord is disconnected or all the

water has evaporated. The whistle will begin to sound as the water begins to boil and will continue until the

water drops to the 1 cup level. Do not plug the whistle hole or attempt to change the whistle in any manner as

this will result in boiling water being ejected out the spout.

NOTE: Should the tea kettle boil dry or be accidentally plugged in empty, it is protected against damage by its

automatic re-setting thermostat that will turn off the heating element. If this occurs, disconnect the cord and allow

to cool before reﬁlling with water.

4. Keep hands away from escaping steam and use caution when pouring hot water from the tea kettle.

5. Do not attempt to heat any liquids other than water.

Always disconnect cord from wall outlet before pouring, to prevent boiling water from surging out the

spout.

7. Empty any unused water while still hot to reduce scale buildup.

NOTE: The inside of this tea kettle is specially coated to prevent discoloration. Mineral content in water varies from

place to place and in some areas may still cause discoloration. The discoloration will not affect the taste or quality

of the water. Always empty all unused water after each use.

In addition, water with high mineral content may tend to bubble more excessively and possibly boil out the spout. If

this occurs, reduce maximum ﬁll by

⁄

cup, or so water comes to the bottom of the full mark.

Care and Cleaning

1. Under normal use, a deposit of scale may form on the inside of the tea kettle. This scale buildup can be

delayed by pouring out old water after each use and then reﬁlling with fresh water when using again. If the tea

kettle is used on a daily basis, clean the inside once a month to remove mineral deposits. If the water in your area

is quite hard, more frequent cleaning may be necessary.

2. To remove the scale deposit, boil one cup of vinegar and one cup of water in the kettle for ﬁve minutes.

Unplug and allow to stand for 15 minutes. Empty tea kettle and rinse thoroughly. If mineral buildup is quite

severe, repeat cleaning process with fresh vinegar and water. Always rinse thoroughly after cleaning.

Never use soap or other cleaning solutions in this kettle.

4. Wipe the exterior of the tea kettle with a soft damp cloth. Do not scour surfaces with steel wool or abrasive

cleaners. Never immerse in water or other liquid.
